New R/C Helicopter Chassis

My RC helicopter broke last Friday at work so I decided to rip out the guts and see if I couldn't throw together my own chassis for it. Sure enough, using nothing but a red dixie cup, a paper plate and a couple of zip ties; the helicopter was brought back to life. I'd say it flies just about as good as it did before, but it could just use a little bit more weight at the front.

Very Cool, what are the wires hanging down?

Those are just the wires connecting the motors to the receiver/battery. They will be shortened and everything tucked inside the dixie cup.
